- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) supports the development of a novel space plasma measurement methodology called "plasma seismology". The $449,999 award to the University of Iowa aims to use single-point, time-series measurements of the electron velocity distribution function to reconstruct the variation of the electric field over an extended spatial region in space plasmas. This capability can provide...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a study on energetic electron trapping and acceleration in magnetized plasma. The $356,876 award, effective December 15, 2024, will investigate how energetic electrons get trapped, accelerated, and de-trapped in magnetized plasmas with magnetic islands and stochastic fields, both in space and in laboratory experiments. The research aims to provide insights into the mechanisms driving energetic electron acceleration and transport, which can impact space weather events like solar flares that disrupt communication and navigation systems. In addition, the project will establish a plasma-focused professional development certification program called "Gateway to Plasma" at Auburn University, which will develop educational content and an introductory plasma textbook to train the next generation of plasma researchers and technicians.
